Method Of Assisting Driver To Negotiate A Roadway

US Patent:
7266438, Sep 4, 2007
Filed:
Aug 26, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/212896
Inventors:
Carroll C. Kellum - Rochester Hills MI, US
Donald K. Grimm - Utica MI, US
Varsha Sadekar - Sterling Heights MI, US
Sarmad Y. Hermiz - Troy MI, US
Assignee:
GM Global Technology Operations, Inc. - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G01C 21/00
US Classification:
701 93, 701201, 701209, 701210, 701208, 340436, 340990
Abstract:
A method of assisting a driver to negotiate a roadway by identifying a curve from a map database (); calculating an estimated negotiable speed for the curve (); advising the driver of the upcoming curve (); warning the driver if he attempts to negotiate the curve at a speed that is greater than the estimated negotiable speed (); and controlling the vehicle () in order to attempt to safely negotiate the curve (). When the curve is identified in advance rather in real-time, identification of the curve, and possibly one or more characteristics of the curve as well as the estimated negotiable speed, may be stored for subsequent access and use (). Furthermore, the advisory, warning, and control behaviors may be varied based on pre-established or determined conditions (). Additionally, the actual vehicle state as it pertains to entering and exiting the curve may be determined ().

Vehicle Speed Monitoring System

US Patent:
7589643, Sep 15, 2009
Filed:
Jun 30, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/171509
Inventors:
Oguz H. Dagci - Sterling Heights MI, US
Donald K. Grimm - Utica MI, US
Varsha Sadekar - Sterling Heights MI, US
Daniel J. Bartz - Lake Orion MI, US
Sarmad Y. Hermiz - Troy MI, US

Assignee:
GM Global Technology Operations, Inc. - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G08G 1/09
US Classification:
340905, 340441, 340936, 701117, 701119
Abstract:
A method for monitoring vehicle speed is provided. The method includes receiving a current speed of a vehicle and a current speed limit associated with a current location of the vehicle. A current speed range is calculated by comparing the current speed of the vehicle to the current speed limit. Operator alert preferences including a caution range and a warning range are accessed. An alert responsive to the current speed range and to the operator alert preferences is communicated to the operator of the vehicle. The alert includes one or more caution attributes when the current speed range of the vehicle is within the caution range. The alert includes one or more warning attributes when the current speed range of the vehicle is within the warning range. The alert includes one or more at speed attributes when the current speed range of the vehicle is not within the caution range or the warning range.

Donald K. Grimm - Utica MI, US
Varsha Sadekar - Sterling Heights MI, US
Sarmad Y. Hermiz - Troy MI, US
Assignee:
GM Global Technology Operations, Inc. - Detroit MI

US Classification:
701208, 701200, 701207, 701210, 701 93, 701117, 340905, 340906, 340933
Abstract:
A navigation system () adapted for use with a vehicle () having an operator () includes a map database () presenting a current vehicle path, a locator device () communicatively coupled to the database () and configured to determine the location of the vehicle () and to associate the location with a position point within the database (). The system () further includes an improved indicator () configured to predictively communicate an upcoming condition to the operator (), determine a time-dependent-variable condition, compare a current condition of the vehicle () to the upcoming condition, and alert the operator () to a non-compliant comparison. The system () is further configured to receive preferences from the operator () and vehicle (), so as to present a modifiable mode of operation.

Road-Edge Detection

US Patent:
8099213, Jan 17, 2012
Filed:
Jul 18, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/175634
Inventors:
Wende Zhang - Shelby Township MI, US
Varsha Sadekar - Sterling Heights MI, US
Assignee:
GM Global Technology Operations LLC - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
G06K 9/78
E01F 9/06
US Classification:
701 41, 701301, 382104, 340437
Abstract:
A method is provided for detecting road-side edges in a road segment using a light-based sensing system. Input range data is captured using the light-based sensing system. An elevation-based road segment is generated based on the captured input range data. The elevation-based road segment is processed by filtering techniques to identify the road segment candidate region and by pattern recognition techniques to determine whether the candidate region is a road segment. The input range data is also projected onto the ground plane for further validation. The line representation of the projected points are identified. The line representation of the candidate regions is compared to a simple road/road-edge model in the top-down view to determine whether the candidate region is a road segment with its edges. The proposed method provides fast processing speeds and reliable detection performance for both road and road-side edges simultaneously in the captured range data.

Road-Lane Marker Detection Using Light-Based Sensing Technology

US Patent:
8194927, Jun 5, 2012
Filed:
Jul 18, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/175622
Inventors:
Wende Zhang - Shelby Township MI, US
Varsha Sadekar - Sterling Heights MI, US
Christopher Paul Urmson - Pittsburgh PA, US
Assignee:
GM Global Technology Operations LLC - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382104
Abstract:
A method is provided for detecting road lane markers using a light-based sensing device. Reflectivity data is captured using the light-based sensing device. A light intensity signal is generated based on the captured reflectivity data. The light intensity signal is convolved with a differential filter for generating a filter response that identifies a candidate lane marker region and ground segment regions juxtaposed on each side of the candidate lane marker region. A weighted standard deviation of the data points within the identified candidate lane marker region and weighted standard deviation of the data points within the ground segment regions are calculated. An objective value is determined as a function of the respective weighted standard deviations. The objective value is compared to a respective threshold for determining whether the identified candidate lane marker region is a lane marker.

Apparatus And Method For Camera-Bases Lane Marker Detection

US Patent:
8204277, Jun 19, 2012
Filed:
Jul 18, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/175631
Inventors:
Wende Zhang - Shelby Township MI, US
Varsha Sadekar - Sterling Heights MI, US
Assignee:
GM Global Technology Operations LLC - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382104, 701 1
Abstract:
A method is provided for detecting road lane markers in a vehicle road using an imaging device. Road input data is captured using the imaging device. Lighting normalization is applied to the road input data. The method detects the road lane markers in a few main orientations in the normalized input data. In each main orientation, the normalized input data is convolved with an oriented edge detection filter for generating an oriented edge-based filter response. The normalized input data is convolved with an oriented line detection filter for generating an oriented line-based filter response. Candidate lane markers are selected in response to the edge-based filter response and line-based filter response in each main orientation. A transformation technique is applied to the candidate lane markers for identifying the lane markings in each main orientation.
